The article discusses the diminishing political relevance of Barack Obama, highlighting that he is no longer viewed as the leader of the Democratic Party. Miranda Devine argues that despite once being seen as the puppeteer behind Joe Biden, Obama’s lack of involvement and poor poll numbers signify a faded political presence, illustrated by a recent CNN poll where he only garnered 4% support from Democrats. This decline is compounded by revelations from a book detailing Obama's behind-the-scenes push to replace Biden, indicating his discontent with current leadership, particularly aimed at Kamala Harris.
"Obama was alerted to the catastrophe by his phone . . . Obama kept his thoughts to himself that night, but his proxies didn't afford Biden the same courtesy."
"The mini-primary was Obama's way of trying to kneecap Harris," the book claims.
